The premier event for creators of immersive VR (and AR) experiences will be held this November 2-3 in San Francisco, at the prestigious Park Central Hotel. To meet the growing demand for high‐quality content in the rapidly-expanding VR/AR space, VRDC is expanding to cover virtual and augmented reality in games, entertainment, and beyond into subjects such as healthcare, journalism, travel, manufacturing, retail, live events, real estate, training, and so much more.

Some of the confirmed VRDC sessions include CCP Games's Andrew Willans talking about how the game company launched one of the most high-profile VR games on the market, EVE: Valkyrie. 

Also, don't miss NASA's Francisco Delgado, discussing 'Hybrid Reality: A New Paradigm for Astronaut Training', and The Farm 51's Wojciech Pazdur on The Chernobyl Project, a unique VR virtual tour using photogrammetry & drones to document and map the aftermath of the world's worst nuclear disaster.

Plus, VRDC speaker Erik Martin (a policy advisor at the White House) will deliver a talk on "The White House Call: Virtual Reality for Grand Challenges" in which he'll address the ways the White House sees virtual reality as a new tool for approaching a number of significant issues.

So don't miss it! Head over to the VRDC website now and register to attend the conference, which will feature a plethora of great VR/AR talks spanning games, entertainment, and beyond into subjects such as healthcare, journalism, travel, manufacturing, retail, live events, real estate, training, and so much more.
